Product Description

The Kershaw Livewire Tanto (9000T) brings heavy-duty piercing power to Kershaw’s premier out-the-front (OTF) platform. A collaboration with custom knife designer Matt Diskin, this USA-made automatic is engineered for those who demand a tactical edge and superior mechanical reliability. By combining an aggressive tanto profile with the industry-leading CPM MagnaCut super steel, the Livewire Tanto is a high-performance tool built to handle the most rigorous tasks with ease.

The 3.3-inch blade features a rugged BlackWash™ finish, designed to hide scratches and maintain a stealthy, non-reflective appearance. The tanto blade shape provides a reinforced tip for high-force piercing, while the flat-ground edge remains surgical for precision slicing. The black-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle is meticulously contoured for a "locked-in" grip and features a curved, staircase-like thumb slide finished in charcoal gray Cerakote. This ergonomic slide provides instantaneous, double-action deployment and retraction that is significantly more comfortable than traditional OTF designs.

• Revolutionary CPM MagnaCut Steel: The premier choice for high-end knives (62-64 HRC), offering a legendary balance of toughness, edge retention, and extreme rust resistance.

• Aggressive Tanto Geometry: Engineered for maximum piercing strength and tactical utility, featuring a reinforced secondary edge for heavy-duty work.

• Rugged BlackWash™ Finish: A durable, pre-worn finish that hides the scuffs of everyday use and eliminates glare in tactical environments.

• Smooth Double-Action OTF: The precision internal locking mechanism allows for lightning-fast, one-handed operation with minimal thumb fatigue.

• USA-Made Precision: Proudly manufactured in Tualatin, Oregon, featuring a reversible black deep-carry pocket clip for discreet, ambidextrous carry.
